Behind the Scenes of the “Platzl” Project – A Collaboration That Delivers Quality

Today, modern hospitality is about much more than great food—it is also about creating a space that enhances the guest experience. That is why HoReCa furniture, finishing materials, and a cohesive interior concept play such an important role.

A perfect example of this approach is the “Platzl” restaurant in St. Johann in Tirol—an EGGER reference project that demonstrates how to combine design, functionality, and durability.

HoReCa Worktops and Tables – Durability in Practice

The project features a range of EGGER decors that contribute to both the aesthetics and functionality of the interior.

Key applications include:

  • restaurant worktops
  • HoReCa tables
  • bar counter surfaces

Among the selected decors are:

  • Natural Casella Oak – a warm, natural wood effect
  • Grey Triestino Terrazzo – a contemporary stone-inspired texture
  • Anthracite Titanite – an industrial accent used in compact worktops

These materials provide:

✔️ scratch resistance
✔️ moisture resistance
✔️ heat resistance
✔️ resistance to beverage stains and discoloration
✔️ easy cleaning and maintenance

These are exactly the qualities required in high-traffic hospitality environments.

Design That Creates Atmosphere

One of the greatest strengths of the “Platzl” project is its thoughtful combination of materials and colors.

The interior is based on a blend of:

  • warm wood-inspired decors
  • stone and terrazzo textures
  • bold upholstery colors (including shades of red)
  • contemporary lighting elements

The result?

A space that is:

  • modern yet welcoming
  • elegant yet relaxed
  • memorable and distinctive

These are the types of interiors that attract guests and encourage them to return.

Functionality for Everyday Use

In the HoReCa sector, design must go hand in hand with practicality. The “Platzl” project was developed with real-world use in mind, featuring:

  • ergonomic table layouts
  • durable work surfaces
  • easy-to-maintain materials
  • solutions designed to withstand intensive daily use

This demonstrates that well-designed HoReCa furniture is an investment rather than an expense.

Why Are EGGER Materials a HoReCa Standard?

EGGER products are widely used in the hospitality and food service industries because they successfully combine aesthetics with durability.

Their key advantages include:

✔️ high resistance to intensive use
✔️ a wide range of decors and textures
✔️ visual consistency throughout the entire project
✔️ ease of fabrication and installation
✔️ reliability in everyday operation

The “Platzl” project perfectly illustrates the potential of these materials in practice.

A Project Brought to Life Through Collaboration

Behind the success of the restaurant stands a team of specialists whose expertise and shared vision made it possible to create a modern HoReCa environment:

  • Investor / Operator: Platzl St. Johann
  • Architectural Design: The team responsible for the overall concept and interior design
  • Furniture Manufacturing & Fit-Out: Experienced contractors specializing in HoReCa projects
  • Materials & Decors: EGGER
  • Photography: Official EGGER reference materials

The “Platzl” project demonstrates how effective collaboration, quality materials, and thoughtful design can come together to create a hospitality space that is both visually striking and built for long-term performance.
